Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
The article covers the MUSE (Medical Users Software Exchange) 2026 conference, a user-led event organized by MEDITECH users since 1983. Unlike typical vendor-driven conferences, MUSE is controlled by actual users who gather to share best practices, making it feel more like a reunion than a corporate event. The conference was held in Chicago, IL.
